OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure your pump is running and is
flowing through the unit, if for any reason the water flow is
interrupted (power outage, etc.) extinguish the fire immediately.
2. Place small kindling in the fire-box, set the material directly on
the fire brick bottom (Don't use a log rack). To ignite, use paper or a
fireplace starter log, never use liquid flammable materials, once the
fire is started, add larger logs and keep the fire box full. When
operating at full capacity, it will be necessary to add wood every two
hours depending on the type of wood used. At night, fill the firebox and
close the draft doors, it will usually only maintain the pool
temperature at night. In the morning, after 8 to IO hours, you should
have a good bed of coals to start the daytime burning procedure again.
3. Draft Control: When first getting the fire started, open draft
control doors completely open. You can even leave the door ajar to get
additional draft, if needed. Leave draft doors open until the
temperature indicator on the chimney reads in the efficient range, at
that point adjust draft control and add wood to keep the temperature in
the efficient range. When operating in the efficient range, you should
get a 3 to 6 degree temperature difference between water going into the
heater versus water returning to the pool.
4. When heating your pool, you should use a solar or thermal blanket to
reduce the loss of heat generated, this is especially important at
night.
The table below shows the BTU
(British Thermal Units) output of most common wood types. This table is
most useful in determining which type of wood you can burn to most
effectively heat your pool. The higher BTU output of wood, the hotter
your wood heater will be and thus heating your water quicker.
